And, along the way, you’d have a good chance at catching a world record fish. Why? Because this tiny country regularly produces world records. And why are so many big ones here? Because the word’s gone out in the fish world: Costa Rica fishing is pura vida! Where’d they hear it? In school, of course. That’s why so many schools of fish are here.
